He had the ability to appeal, which he used and lost. Then he was presented with another opportunity to appeal, because often you get several chances for this.

He chose instead to seek judicial review of the case, which wasted everyone's time because it was stupid and inappropriate to request a review instead of appealing.

Then he was fined for wasting everyone's time, because otherwise these people will just keep going and wasting taxpayer money on frivolous court proceedings.
